As I’m sure most of you know, anxiety is something that {almost} always goes hand-in-hand with ADHD.
Regardless of how hard we may try to avoid those anxious feelings, we sometimes find ourselves in the midst of anxiety.
So what do we do to get ourselves out of it? Here are 5 of my favorite ways:
- Breathing exercises such as Alternate Nostril Breathing and Box Breathing
- Taking a walk, outside in nature
- Eat something to make sure your blood sugar is balanced
- Skip the caffeine...caffeine can make the situation worse
- Aromatherapy... essential oils are known to help with anxiety (I personally love a blend called peace and calming from Young Living)
What are some ways that you have found helpful for reducing your anxiety?

Have you heard of emotional withdrawal? It’s something I think we can all relate to doing at some point in our lives.
"ADHD and emotional withdrawal — pulling away from friends, strangers, and loved ones alike — often go hand-in-hand. Withdrawal is a coping mechanism many women with ADHD learn from a lifetime of rejection, disappointment, and bullying. Breaking this unhealthy habit is not easy — but your relationships may depend on it."

Got hangry? These 3 easy snacks are what you need to help keep hangry at bay and your brain fueled! My tip is to also keep snacks in your car or bag so you’ll be less tempted to hit the drive thru when hunger strikes!
- Homemade trail mix: unsweetened coconut, almonds, peanuts, cashews, dried fruit and dark chocolate. You can switch it up and add however much you want of each.
- Jerky/meat sticks. If you have a dehydrator and the time, you can make it yourself. Me? I like to buy them. My favorites are ones that don’t have added sugar and limited ingredients. Tillamook and Chomps are two brands I trust.
- Plantain chips. I’m a salty over sugar type person and love the good crunch of chip. Most are fried in canola oil which is a no go. Plantain chips that are fried in coconut oil are a great alternative.
If you're not sure where to find the highest quality version of these snacks, you should check out Thrive Market!
